Announcing the Zootown Blitz Chess League

Now meeting downstairs at Zootown Brew, downtown Missoula, each Sunday at 2:00pm.
 
Game 10 (10 minutes per player) time controls, Unrated, Round Robin format.  With these quicker time controls, you'll get a chance to play everyone.  Again, it's competitive but casual, so don't expect complete silence in the room and a tournament official to beckon your every call... you baby. ;)
 
$2 per player, money goes into a pot (not a real pot) and winner takes all (so nobody tell Greg about this) -- haha, just kidding, you can tell Greg.
 
There will be NO co-champions -- that is, if you tie for first place, expect a sudden-death-blitz-off to the death (redundancy intended).
 
Should be loads of fun, so bring your chess sets and clocks if you have them, and get ready for some good games against worthy opponents. 
 
Also, Jacob made mention of trophies, SO. . . he or she who has the most games won at the end of the month gets a sweet trophy (somehow). 
 
We'll see how this goes and hopefully keep it up throughout the year.
 
Finally, I don't have everyone's email (for example, John Hay, Dale, Paul Mitchell, Jordan, etc) so spread the word.
 
Any questions, feel free to email RobGabriele.mt@gmail.com
 
Hasta la Sunday,
Rob
